Clickable list with shell commands

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I wanted to ask if mine project is generally possible. It's about a list of paths that should contain all clickable shell commands. You should also be able to search (filter). Whether this happens with CTRL+F or via a search field doesn't matter to me.

I would have a database that is CSV or a SQLite DB, from this come the shell commands with arguments and they should be clickable.

Background is a kind of list for a media player to be able to directly access single songs over several video concerts (mp4) via MPC player command.

I would save the data ~ in this form.

Artist;Track;VideoPath;VideoPos

A shell command would be like:

"C:\Program Files\MPC-BE x64\mpc-be64.exe" "E:\Videos\Artist - Gig ABC.mp4" /startpos 01:20:20

Can you do that with Autoit? And would you use CSV or SQLite? Especially for the search and sorting possibilities I would be here rather for SQLite. How is the support in Autoit, does it work well?

Thanks a lot!

Seems doable, i would probably use ini files, depending on the size of the list.

Thank you, currently are about 30 commands, can grow to about 200 i think, so thats not as much. I just think about Sorting and filtering.. So the Data go from an ini file in an array i assume, and can then be sorted and/or filtered, correct?

Just found this..

This might be my way, so i "only" have to make the parsing from the ini file into the list view.

Ahm, there ist no code at this moment. Before i spend work i want to know if its possible what i want. First evaluating.. then coding.

@hausl78
Talking about 200 tracks, it can be done with one .ini file in which there are all the tracks, and you store whatever you want with the track :)
Directly with the ListView, you can search for a specific track and, by double-clicking the row, for example, you can start the track or whatever you want.
It always depends from what are your goals :)

I think i could have troubles with the ini file. Because i have the following data for each song:

1. the video-filename (one file contains a lot of songs, its a complete show)
2. the artist name
3. the track name
4. the position (~ "timestamp") of this track within the videofile

I think this can be clear stored within an ini file?
 

[e:/video/shows/the complete show 2016.mp4]
230=sting|fields of gold
12050=queen|radio gaga

[e:/video/shows/the complete show 2017.mp4]
120=GunsNRoses|Knocking on heavens door
8500=Bob Geldof|tell me why i dont hate mondays

[e:/video/single/queen - innuendo.mp4]
0=Queen|Innuendo

[...]

Maybe this one could be more "dynamic" ( from your first post ):

[Track1]
Artist=NameOfTheArtist
Track=NameOfTheTrack
VideoPath=PathOfTheVideo
VideoPos=PosOfTheVideo

You can have as much tracks as you want, since the things you are interested are the values of the keys :)

I think about it, thank you. But its also possible to build with this a list like this, that would be my goal. And sortable with click on the head is also possible?

It's 100% possibile :)
If you want to make it "simple", you can use an .ini file as I've said above; but, if you want to make a SQLite DB, then it would be a little less simple, since you have to manage your data with SQLite functions, and not directly in the ListView as you would do with the .ini file.

ok thanks.. I just forgot to the possibility to search within the list. If i make a search-textfield, that should only find in artist and track, ist this to be handled with the fileliste-array (ini) ?

My first idea was on every keypress within the search-textfield to trigger a Query to the SQLite DB something like

WHERE artist LIKE '%input%' OR track LIKE '%input%'

Currently i got them in an SQLite DB, and read it with:
 

SELECT s.title, s.interpret, f.filename, s.timecode
FROM song s
INNER JOIN file f ON s.file_id = f.id
ORDER BY title

Yes, we can guide you.

The idea is that the input will be read in the main loop, checking for changes in said input.

As soon as there is a change, compare the input withc stringinstr with the listview items, filter what doesn't match.

Re-Do the list as to show only the filtered items, but i figure this is too complex at the moment, we'll get there when we do.

Now i tried something.. Lets assume i have the following songs.ini

;[]
;artist=
;title=
;filepath=
;timecode=


[10]
artist=Santiano
title=Sound of Silence
filepath=Konzerte, Shows\Helene Fischer Show 2017.mp4
timecode=02:35:13

[20]
artist=Seer
title=Hoamatgfühl
filepath=Konzerte, Shows\Seer - Open Air in Grundlsee 2014.mp4
timecode=00:23:54

I try to import this to the control, but i dont know how to "translate" the correct order from the ini-Array to the control. Is my way with the _IniReadFile good?

Thank you. So now my next steps...

- Trigger shell cmd on double clich of the actual list entry

Then .. nice to have
- Sorting by click on the column header
- Searchfiled (filter) to input a word what on keypress acutals the list if the word > 3 chars and the searchpart is within artist oder title.

Will try now the double click.. Thank you meanwhile. (and sorry if my english is "crypted" somehow, im austrian, so not realy a native :) )
